Gotta love summer.

This summer we haven't been hanging out in the usual crowded spots and things have really been looking up.


Packing into the hills, camping, and catching a few trout has been our mainstay.
Suitcases packed.

Now boarding seats 0-4.

Up, up, and away.

Squatting on Uncle Sam.

Thin air at 9500'.

Turquoise.

Yellow Rooster Tail every 3rd cast.


Just enough to eat.

Redneck Hot Tub.
Found it at an abandoned mine site. About 6 miles in.
A pipe fed the water from up stream to the tub. Steel plate under it, fire under that to heat the water, and even a drain pipe. Pretty damn sweet set-up.

When you get home nothing beats taking off your hat, kicking off your boots, and resting your feet.


The one day this summer we fished summer runs.
Kinda feels odd not to be down there frequently..................Kinda.


Blurry moon Pic.



What have you been doing?

Best thing i've seen at this hang out for a long time and my wife and I could have used a lift from those four legger's marching up Quinault Ridge last week. That and supporting the oil industry 40mi offshore have kept me sane in a world of pond jizz lately.

Did some trout fishing in Montana a couple weeks ago. Even took a few pictures. And then went wet wading with my camera in my pants cargo pocket. I have a new camera that is taking a trip to BC beginning this Friday.

I have older Canon elf with a waterproof case. Fits in the cargo pants pocket. It is what I take fishing, or hunting, for a couple of reasons. Besides the nice pictures the damn thing floats if dropped in the water. So, it is easier to find.

I think some of the newer ones are waterproof without the case but as long as this one works.

Great Pics! Wonderful way to spend a week it looks like!!!

July was busy. 4th of July weekend was at Westport for the ocean opener. Found the kings way out, and whacked them pretty good with the boy.

Mid July tuna at Westport...whacked a bunch of those.

Last week Nootka. Great trip, spotty catching as the outside ocean was very sporty. Found some fish though.

August is lots of work, then September is getting the boy a 2nd deer, and me a moose.

Nice pics WDFW. That young man looks to be light years ahead of many in terms of experience and ability. Good job!

Summer came to a slow start for me just like for most others. My time on the water locally has been split from ascoting to hardware thumping, it also seems to be the older I get I fish solo with the dog more often as well. Fishing the local crik just gets busier and busier with less opportunity trickling in. Toff, Ryley, and I made it out shortly after the OFFICIAL Puget Sound River opener was announced.
 
Managed to ascot this one shortly after the the opener. Surprisingly had the run undisturbed most of the morning.
 
There's not too much that beats fresh fish harvested from you favorite fishery.

Great pictorial WDFW.

Those fringe fisheries(and family pack trips) can be just as much fun as those damn addictive s-runs.

Me, I'm still craving the addiction.

Cool pics looks like you are having a good summer.

It's been a good summer for me steelhead fishing, crabbing, biking, watching baseball etc.
